INTRODUCTION. 

Previous  publication.  —  All  results  of  spirit  leveling  in  Nevada  pre- 
viously published  by  the  United  States  Geological  Survey  in  Bulletin 
488  and  all  the  results  of  later  work  are  included  in  this  report.  The 
elevations  are  based  on  1912  adjustment  heights  of  bench  marks  along 
the  precise-level  lines  of  the  United  States  Coast  and  Geodetic 


r<rx<>iu«I.  ---The  field  work  previous  to  1903  was  done  under  the 
uvneral  direction  of  K.  IT.  (inode.  geographer;  that  for  190o  to  IDOIJ. 
,  nclusive.  under  K.  M.  Douglas,  geographer;  that  for  1907  under 
K.  15.  Marshall.  geographer:  and  the  later  work  under  T.  G.  Gerdine 
:-nd  (i.  K.  Davis,  geographers,  under  the  general  direction  of  Iv.  B. 
Marshall,  chief  geographer.  The  names  of  the  respective  levelmen 
.,re  given  in  the  introductions  to  the  several  lists.  The  office  work  of 
computation,  adjustment,  and  preparation  of  lists  was  done  mainly 
by  S.  S.  (lannett.  geographer,  under  the  general  direction  of  K.  M. 

Douglas,  geographer. 

f'/t/xMttiff/fjvH.  —  The  elevations  are  classified  as  precise  or  primary, 
according  to  the  methods  employed  in  their  determination.  Precise 
rle\  at  ions  are  determined  by  lines  of  levels  run  either  in  both  forward 
and  backward  directions  or  by  simultaneous  double-rodded  lines,  a 
high-grade  instrument  being  used  and  special  precautions  being  taken 
in  observations  and  reduction  to  correct  errors  and  make  the  line  con- 
tinuously good  throughout.  Primary  elevations  are  determined 
with  the  Y  level,  precautions  being  taken  against  only  the  principal 
errors  and  the  levels  being  run  mostly  in  circuits  of  single  lines. 
The  allowable  limit  of  error  observed  in  the  precise  work  already 
done  by  the  Geological  Survey  in  this  State  is  represented  in  feet  by 
0.017  yD  and  that  for  primary  work  by  0.05  V^,  in  which  D  is  the 
length  of  the  circuit  in  miles. 

/ff/ir/t  marks.  —  The  standard  bench  marks  are  of  two  forms.  The 
first  form  is  a  circular  bronze  or  aluminum  tablet  (C  and  #,  PL  I), 
:ii  inches  in  diameter  and  \  inch  thick,  having  a  3-inch  stem,  which 
is  cemented  in  a  drill  hole  in  solid  rock  in  the  wall  of  some  public 
building,  a  bridge  abutment,  or  other  substantial  masonry  structure. 
The  >ccond  form  (F,  PI.  I),  used  where  masonry  or  rock  is  not  avail-

de-ired   they   must   extend  OVM  several  years.     At  ocean   station--  the 
half  tide  level  and  the  mean  sea  level  usually  differ  but   little.      It   i- 
assiimed    that    there    is    no   difference   hetween    the    mean    sea    le

The  connection  with  tidal  stations  for  bench  marks  in  certain 
areas  that  lie  at  some  distance  from  the  seacoast  is  still  uncertain, 
and  this  fact  is  indicated  by  the  addition  of  a  letter  or  \\ord  to
